In August, I entered the absolutely gorgeous, restored lobby of the Gothic masterpiece that is downtown's Metropolitan Building (Weston & Ellington, 1925) for the first time. I was never into the urbex craze from the previous decade - I always thought it was disrespectful to the buildings - so I never say it in its decrepit state. Well, it was definitely worth the wait. #Detroit #Downtown #Skyscraper #GothicRevival #NeoGothic #archi_ologie #InteriorThursdays #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter (at Metropolitan Building (Detroit)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF0BYShDUwi/?igshid=1knh7lcdbicuw

One of the parlors at the Emlen Physick Estate in Cape May, #NewJersey. This 18-room mansion built in 1879, was designed by architect Frank Furness. The Physick Estate is one of the finest examples of Victorian "Stick Style" architecture in America. It is maintained and operated by the Mid Atlantic Center for The Arts & Humanities @capemaymac. #nj #njhistory #SpreadTheHistory #historygirl #capemaynj #capemay #exitzero #architecture #interiorthursdays #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #estate #travelblog #travelblogger #blog #blogger #stickstyle #southjersey #mansion #parlor #victorian #jerseycollective #igersnj #thisisnj #ushistory #americanhistory #journeythroughjersey #njspots (at Emlen Physick Estate) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8xPJ0IHSYn/?igshid=n8ef5byzhijz

Located below historic Meadow Brook Hall is Alfred's Games Room. As was customary of the time, men and women retired to different areas of the home after dinner. In this case, while Matilda and the other female guest retired to the living room, her husband (the room's namesake) and the gentlemen would retreat to this room, where they could play cards, billiards, etc. The room is fashioned after an English pub with custom woodwork that reflects the theme, including a chess piece frieze above the paneling, pool cues and balls, checkerboard, dice, dominoes, cribbage and cards. The doors even feature custom hinges decorated with suits of cards. There is also a raised alcove, or "hecklers corner", an area for observing games. #MetroDetroit #RochesterMI #OaklandCounty #TudorRevival #EnglishArchitecture #WilliamEKapp #SmithHinchmanandGrylls #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhouseoldandnew #InteriorThursdays #TheAmericanHome #houseportrait #BrickStory #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #MichiganPlacesMatter (at Meadow Brook Hall & Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCtBUmZjcWJ/?igshid=1sgm3x1eeh1qz

During the expansion of the Wright home, the upstairs nursery was enlarged and converted for use by Mrs. Wright. It is known as Catherine's Dayroom. The crib, an heirloom of Catherine's family, dates back to around 1850. #Chicagoland #OakParkIl #Shinglestyle #ChiArchitecture #FrankLloydWright #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhouseoldandnew #InteriorThursdays #TheAmericanHome #houseportrait #BrickStory #VisitOakPark #EnjoyIllinois #ThisPlaceMatters #WrightSites (at Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8P4dM3FHOZ/?igshid=v6dup3js2r2p
